A Flying can be fun and exciting, no matter what you choose to do. But have you ever thought about what happens on the plane Here are some of the most interesting things that happen. Do planes drop human waste while in flight When you (冲)a toilet on a plane at an altitude of 30,000 feet, there must be a question in your mind “Is this about to land on a farmer’s house” Take it easy. A plane’s toilets cannot be emptied in the sky. The waste is stored in tanks on board and can only be operated by the ground crew. However, why is news like “blue ice falling out of a plane” reported Is blue ice human waste Stories about blue ice are true but rarely happen. The FAA said some toilet holding tanks have a blue chemical in them. If a tank leaks high in the air, the water freezes once it hits the outside air, and melts before it lands on the ground.
